You guys I am so excited to share this week’s recipe with you. Chocolate Mocha Banana Bread. Need I say more? I should just end this post right here and let you get to the recipe. But I won’t. After all this is the only time you get to hear about my week, and all the exciting things going on in my life (sarcasm folks, sarcasm).

But seriously this recipe. Think dense, moist, chocolatey goodness with a drizzle of coconut on top. And while this is made in a bread pan I must be honest. This is basically a cake. A healthy cake. A healthy chocolate cake. A healthy chocolate cake that doesn’t contain any nuts, dairy or grains. No it’s not impossible. Just because you are eating healthy, or have certain food allergies or intolerances doesn’t mean you should have to miss out on things like chocolate banana bread. At least not if you ask me. Because life just wouldn’t be very exciting without a little chocolate once in a while. Right?

So what have I been up to this last week? Well pretty much just the usual suspects like work, working out, working on my research project, working on my upcoming presentations, finishing an abstract… wow my life sounds miserable. It’s not that bad I promise. It’s way better than last year anyways. It’s all relative folks.

I also started watching Narco on Netflix. Has anyone else been watching? Can we just talk about how crazy that show is for a second? I had no idea it was that bad in Columbia before! Seriously the amount of money the drug trade brought in and the number of people killed blows my mind. I live in such a sheltered little world… Not that I am complaining about that but it just makes me realize how naive I am. Needless to say I am officially addicted.

    This recipe looks so yummy! I noticed that it says it's gaps approved however tapioca flour is not allowed on the gaps diet. Is there something that can be used instead?

    Julia! I am so sorry! I don't know how I overlooked that. Totally my mistake. To be honest I am not sure what could be substituted that would be GAPS compatible. Perhaps almond flour but I haven't tried it yet so no guarantees. If I do and it works out I will let you know! Thanks again for pointing out my mistake. I've gone ahead and fixed that!
